WELCOME TO PERRIAM & PARTNERS
The first thing you need to know about us is that we are really good at our job, the second is that this website is updated weekly, yes weekly, and the third, it's the very reason why we come to work "passion, purpose and profit".
Perriams' success is built on forging personal relationships with our clients. Simply put, the more we invest in understanding you, your family and your business, the more valuable the insight we can offer.
When a website doesn't include "last updated" on it's content, it begs the question "did it happen today, yesterday or 10 years ago?!" Well Perriam & Partners is about today and tomorrow.
PERRIAMS POWER RANKINGS - 3 NOVEMBER 2025
Each week we announce Perriams “Game Changers” for the week.
1. The All Blacks win over Ireland in Chicago. The Grand Slam is on! That’s 1 from 4.
2. Our Black Caps whitewash over England, 3 – 0 in their One Day International Series. You have to say there was not much media exposure and hype and that could be a warning bell for NZ Cricket.
3. The Barrett sick bay wasn’t looking too good after 10 minutes of play in the All Blacks vs Ireland game with both Scott and Jordie off with injury.
THE PACESETTER - 3 NOVEMBER 2025
❓WHAT’S UP?
The cost of medical insurance – up, up and away!
Stats NZ data shows health insurance premiums as measured in the CPI were up 20% year-on-year in September, but some have experienced 25% increase through to 50%.
Increasingly more people are cancelling or reducing their cover. All this does is put more pressure on our public system.
🔥HOT TOPIC
Three free GP visits for a Capital Gains tax. What’s that about?
If everybody takes up the three visits, and let’s assume many of these patients may have not otherwise made an appointment, where are the doctors going to come from and why has it been offered to everyone?
💡SPOTLIGHT
An overwhelming 88% of voting Farmer Fonterra Shareholders backed the $4.20 billion sale of household brand names to the French dairy giant Lactalis.
It won’t be long now until your buying “Le Mainland”!
💭OPINION
Labour have come out with a proposed Capital Gains tax on investment property.
Where do you sit on this? It’s time now for National to come out with something similar. Now it may not be as narrow as Labour as to what they are looking to tax but surely it has to be the way forward for NZ.
We have to increase our tax take.
💎GEM OF THE WEEK
Sybil, (Prunella Scales) star of sitcom Fawlty Towers, died last week aged 93.
I wonder if her last words before passing were “Basil!”
🏉SPORTIFY
Soldier Stadium in Chicago, where the All Blacks played Ireland in the weekend. What a stadium and was there anyone back in Ireland given how green it was in the stands?!
